About

Rhythm Junction London is a celebration of vintage music and dance presented by Down for the Count Festivals.

Reviving the glamour of the Swing Era, Rhythm Junction London puts live swing music centre-stage and offers dancers and music fans an unmissable vintage night out on the town.

On Saturday 18th November we’ll be hosting the fifth Rhythm Junction London at The Tabernacle in Notting Hill. It has been described as “the next big thing on the swing music and dance calendar” – so put the date in your diaries now and join us for another great vintage night!

Line-up

Check out the line-up for Rhythm Junction London 2017:

Nikki Santilli

Vintage dancer Nikki Santilli will teach you a solo jazz routine at the start of the evening. You’ll love this class, whether you’ve been dancing for 5 minutes or 5 years! Whilst the lesson is optional, it’s suitable for complete beginners so there’s no reason not to get involved.

Down for the Count

Renowned on the vintage scene for their unique sound and energetic performance, Down for the Count have been described by Twinwood Festival as “a breath of fresh air on the swing scene.” They are a “mini big band” and bring the sounds of the Swing Era back to life – they swing just like a full-scale dance orchestra but are not afraid to try something new, keeping audiences on their toes!

As much fun to watch as to dance to, Down for the Count have performed at The London Swing Festival, Ronnie Scotts, Pizza Express Jazz Club and Hideaway Streatham and put on a great show that is guaranteed to get you dancing.

House of Amelia

Between sets, swing DJ House of Amelia will keep you dancing with a great selection of vintage classics.

With an eclectic mix of big band, trad jazz, jive and rock’n’roll music, there is something for everyone in each of Amelia’s sets – and whilst you’re welcome to sit and enjoy the evening’s proceedings, we defy you to stay still when Amelia is on the decks!

The Venue

The venue for Rhythm Junction London is the glorious Tabernacle in London’s cultural Notting Hill carnival district.

This incredible space is used for film, theatre, television and live gigs – and now swing dancing!

Dancers will love the wooden floor close to the stage, whilst the seats in the balcony provide a great view of all the action.

A huge thank you for such a fun and enjoyable night at Rhythm Junction! I can’t remember the last time I got so hot and… er, glowed from so many crazy fast, crazy silly, daft and dizzy dances. THANK YOU to all my wonderful leads. Every dance a winner.
